It is entirely possible that at least some of them were actually US citizens, but that the records are in error.
Its possible. But they wouldn't have referred them to law enforcement if that was likely.
Its important to remember that you are a card carrying water carrier for the Democrats denying anything that challenges their orthodoxy.
The Secretary of the State of Ohio is not qualified to make determinations on US Citizenship. That's why they were referred to law enforcement. Until people are charged, it's nothing more than common sense to wait for final determinations to be made.
We've seen this before where mistakes are made in regards to voter rolls. It's only prudent.
And to your second sentence, not only is it a pathetic personal attack, it's just plain factually wrong. I have no love at all for the Democratic party. If you can't engage in a calm and rational discussion without the name calling and innuendo, perhaps you shouldn't?
Nobody wants illegals to vote. Where we disagree is on how we arrive at that. To the left, it needs to be done to minimize disenfranchisement. To the right, it seems more and more clear that their motive is to squelch democrat votes. There's ample evidence of this and it's been cited time and time again on this board.
Just last week, the state GOP chair in Montana tried to block a bill to allow the counties to use a mail in ballot for a special election to replace their lone US Representative should he be confirmed to the Trump cabinet. They came right out and said that the reason is fear that too many democrats would vote.
And the sad part in this, is that the mail in ballots would save the counties much needed money. It's interesting when the GOP suddenly doesn't care about the bottom line.
Quote:State GOP Chairman and Rep. Jeff Essmann sent party members an “emergency chairman’s report on the long-term negative impact” of mail ballot elections on the state Republican Party.
Essmann argued that all-mail ballots “give the Democrats an inherent advantage in close elections due to their ability to organizes large numbers of unpaid college students and members of public employee unions to gather ballots by going door to door.”
“If they succeed in this effort this time they will use it as an example of success and will work to make it a permanent Democrat advantage,” he said.
